You sell and service vacuum cleaners. Your price on a particular model is $125. However, to get a service contract, you offer to sell it for $115. How much discount are you giving as a percentage of price (to the nearest tenth)?

The price is reduced by $10. The percentage of this amount from the given initial amount is 
     [tex]=\frac{10}{125}\times 100\%=8\%[/tex]

Therefore, a discount of 8% is given. 

Answer:

The discount percent is 8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The actual price of the model = $125

The offer price of the model = $115

So, the discount percent will be equal to the difference of both prices, divided by the actual price and multiplied by 100.

This becomes: [tex]\frac{125-115}{125}\times100= 8[/tex]%

Hence, the discount percent is 8.0%
